    I am loving it. A good story, some brutal new generation graphics, excellent, have left me speechless. The game is very entertaining.

    One of the best emotional journeys I had in a game! .The vastness of takes or understandings that you can have for yourself from the whole story and the life lessons it has, is incredible and unbelievable.Totally underrated by corporates and magazines' reviews.

    The Perfect Sequel
    Requiem makes everything bigger and better than it was. From environments, to gameplay, to story, to even voice acting is better. The ending is tragic and Charlotte McBurney performance as Amicia is one of the best of the year. Amicia has become one of my favorite protagonists in recent gaming history. Not just with Hugo . But the chemistry wit Kit Connor's Lucas is    The Perfect Sequel

    all in all, A Plague Tale Requiem is the perfect sequel to an already fantastic game and It will be in my mind for quite some time. Possibly forever.    … Expand

    It's a really masterpiece. The story was really powerful and the ending was amazing and heartbreaking at the same time. Also the soundtrack and the landscapes was amazing. The only flaw was the AI that never conviced me.

A Plague Tale Requiem is a massive step up from the prior title and a straight up triple-A game now. Everything is improved massively - voice acting, music, environments, story, characters, graphics - I could go on. I couldn't stop thinking about this game between sessions, and I'm writing this review hoping that more people will buy it because the decelopers have earned it! I feel that Requiem is getting the Horizon Forbidden West treatment. Requiem is, like Forbidden West, a massive improvement over the first game, but for some reason it goes unnoticed. People really don't appreciate how much love and effort Asobo have put into this game.

    Yes, there are some framerate stability issues now and then, but nothing that ruins the experience at all. I was glued to the screen from start to finish, and I'm so happy I got to experience this emotional journey. Amicia and Hugo's voice actors deserve special recognition for a flawless performance. Amicia has become one of my favourite characters in gaming - and again, I really didn't enjoy her performance in Innocence, so that just goes to show the improvement! This game is without question a game of the year contender, and I really hope that the developers stick with the characters in this game.

    These days it's rare to get such a high quality singleplayer game with a great length. I have heard critics say that the game is too long and gets too sci-fi. Personally, I cannot understand these claims. The lore and setting - including it's more supernatural elements were fully established in Innocence, and Requiem is true to these in every regard, nothing more nothing less. This game explores the bond between brother and sister and how far you will go to protect someone you love, even if it means losing yourself in the process. If you ask me, that is a far more intruguing story than the inquisition-focused story of Innocence. As far as game length, it's perfect. Innocence was too short and this nails the story and pacing beautifully. I mean, when playing Requiem you keep wanting it to continue because it's so good!

    In my book, this game is a masterpiece and anyone with a ps5, xbox or pc owes it to themselves to play this game.    … Expand

    Don't listen to the haters. Sure there are some dips in framerate at times when 300,000 rats are on the screen, but the way some "gamers" are complaining about it makes me think they haven't played a single indie game in their life. Game is a solid 10 from start to finish.

    This game lives from its story and characters. I love how you never feel alone when playing. The interaction between the characters during gameplay is so great. You can see the development between Amicia and Hugo during the game and this is not done using cutscenes. It’s great that you get to know plenty of other characters and can enjoy their company too.

    The graphics, sound, voices and music are really satisfying and atmospheric and it’s absolutely beautiful to watch, hear and walk through it.

    By the time A Plague Tale: Requiem concludes, it will feel like being dragged by a pick-up truck, across miles of concrete. The world depicted is a bleak and cruel one with no light at the end of the tunnel. Players will be getting their money's worth, as this is a very long game that is punctuated with lots of gimmicky sequences that add value to the package. The story does have a lot for fans to discuss, and the visuals are amazing, even if they came at the cost of a high frame rate. The gameplay is technically better than the first, but it was never amazing to begin with. The over reliance on prebaked contextual actions and the rigidness of simplistic stealth is something most could expect from a seventh gen console title, not a ninth gen console release.

    If you are on a quest to find a video game that could make you cry, may your quest end right here. A continuation of a story that was fine on its own, Requiem delivers one of the most powerful stories ever conceived in a video game. But be wary of the framerate drops on the PlayStation 5 console, which bring their own set of unforeseen despair.
